Plasmonic enhancement of perovskite solar cells using embedded Au nanowires: an FDTD study
摘要
This study investigates the use of plasmonic Au nanowires embedded in the perovskite absorber layer to enhance the optical performance of perovskite solar cells. Finite-difference time-domain simulations are employed to analyze the effects of nanowire geometry, periodicity, and position on light absorption. The optimized structure exhibits an absorption enhancement of approximately 8% compared to the bare device. These improvements are attributed to localized surface plasmon resonances induced by the Au nanowires, which enhance near-field intensity and light trapping within the perovskite layer. The short-circuit current density (JSC) is calculated from the generation rate, and the JSC increased from 19.80 mA/cm2 in the bare device to 22.1 mA/cm2 in the optimized device. The results provide practical guidelines for the design of high-efficiency plasmon-enhanced perovskite solar cells.
